Trooper Blanton,
On today, the 20th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Air Force as a Security Policeman. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

M-

Everyday. I miss you. Everyday. You would be so very proud of Spenser.... he's so much like you. He's got your eyes...your hands...your walk.... your "I'm up to something" sneaky grin. Can you believe he's married and serving our country faithfully (just like you)?

So much has changed...but some things never do...my love for you is one of them. Thank you for always taking care of me....even today.

I've been blessed twice. God saw fit for me not to be alone. Lonnie is a good man. You would like him. We serve Jesus together and are hopefully about to move south!!

Don't worry about your killer getting out, he was about 34 at the time and even with good behavior time off he'd at least around 85 years old when released. So we don't have to worry about your killing getting out anytime soon

Often police officers are referred to as the shepherd dog; due to our unwavering courage, strength and fortitude to guard our flock of sheep. You were all these and more Mike; and when the moment came you did not hesitate to fulfill your duty. As the Lord says in John 10:11, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
By laying down your life to protect another, you ultimately laid down your life to protect your partners in blue. “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.” (I John 3:16).

In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.

“May angels lead you into paradise; upon your arrival, may the martyrs receive you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem. May the ranks of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, once a poor man, may you have eternal rest.”

Thank you Mike; I miss you.
